Player Roger Tuivasa-Sheck

That's what I am leaning towards as well. If they crack it and RTS gets back to his best, watch out.

No reason to say that this week, unless it was for this week... here's hoping anyway

Do we persist with RTS at the back? Taine doesnt seem to be able to string together games.

Yes until Charnze is fully fit. If we say RTS is better suited and utilised there then we have to bounce Charnze to a position of value for the team and him. Interesting decision. Roger as a centre was a bust.

Would have to agree. Especially with the last part.

Webby will lose me if if he picks tuaapiki over RTS

 

[Whiteknight]

RTS to wing and TT to fullback, they can swap around if required and TT can kick goals

 

[BigUCE]

CNK’s back next week so would expect RTS to move back to left centre and Ali back to the right. I don’t really care if Webby goes with MGT or Kosi…

Would we not be better with CNK at centre?

CNK is our best fullback IMO. If he is fit he plays. RTS is the odd man out and I think he goes to left centre or left wing.

It is such a roll of the dice. I don't care where we put Charnze. If he's fit he will not let us down.

RTS has proven his value is solely at fullback and one wing better than the mighty Kosi.

Like Frank's 2nd row thesis I would like to add a hooker micro thesis........ Egan is a liability at present. Vs the Bunnies he was gold.

Lussick to start. Roache as half and hooker back up.

Please expand on how he is a liability? Honestly baffled at where this Egan slander is coming from.
He's superior to Lussick in nearly every facet of a hookers game, apart from his defensive technique

Is RTS the new Luai or is Luai the new RTS

Good question. To be clear. My thoughts of his being a liability is only based on what you said which is his defensive technique. I think I might be happier if he was a turnstile rather than his courageous self because the cost of his defensive technique is less of a worry for me about the team's performance. Though I want the team's performance to be better. Its more about concern for his long term health and the protection of him. And upon reflection of your question I don't consider it slander like if I call SJ princess or say someone in particular was shit. Egans play is good and important but in my opinion he takes to much damage and therefore is a liability to our team and would feel hideous if the next head knock puts him into a coma or worse. We need to assess and manage the risk and my approach to managing him would be a paid holiday for an entire season or a sabbatical or something to get him right and able to fix technique and allow his head to heal. Like TMM perhaps...???

*Edit.... And I don't know if I'm right but it is my opinion and I stand by it.

 

[Defence]

Been nominated for the golden boot- must've been killing it at fullback for Samoa? anyone actually seen the games?

 

[Zaggo]

To be fair, Kini is also nominated and he's been OK (on attack at least) but you really wouldn't say he's been killing it.

I imagine RTS might be the same - one of the better players in a badly beaten side.
